Well, given somebody took the time to design these particular two tags, I'm inclined to think it was at least a little bit considered.
Maybe they dropped the idea half-way through, for balance, lack of time or whatever reasons, but I think they initially wanted to somehow have a go a the war of the roses.

Yay ! first time i see a lady on these forums... and she plays MEIOU ! \o/

I've been thinking about a scenario for the War of the Roses, using the two tags, indeed. Lack of time and the wish of having a working Hundred Years' War scenario operationnal have caused this delay.

I'm not actually sure if separate York and Lancaster tags would be appropriate for the WotR; AFAIK it was more a period of dynastic political manoeuvring with intermittent engagements (St. Albans, Tewkebury etc) rather than a full-blown civil war as was the case in the English Civil War.

It is not sufficient that I succeed- all others must fail- Genghis Khan

I'm working on a War of the Roses scenario using those tags for my own mod but really, pretender rebels make more sense for how the war historically played out. Its just that the pretender rebel mechanic is kind of poor. One stack of units is never going to take over a multi-province country unless someone lets it.

If I'm not mistaken, the pretender rebels need only take one province before an event can fire making more pop up.

But still, pretender rebels are most damaging when a country is at its weakest, having lost all their army and money from war.

If you are switching the rebels to pretenders, change the ones in Skane as danish patriots so they might actually switch back to Denmark. Maybe have it in the history that they seized the provinces a year or so previous.

Except that, in truth they were pretender rebels, not patriots. And in another thread, some are criticising me for chosing gameplay over historical accuracy

I started a thread in the main forum about my war of the rose stuff so you can find most of my code in there.

If you want Denmark to be able to intervene in a rebellion couldn't you just add an event that gave Denmark the option of paying some money to spawn more rebels in Sweden? Not that they can't so that anyway with spies but it would give the AI some incouragement.

If fact you could do that for any country, since that sort of thing happened a lot, with Ireland, Burgundy and France backing a lot of English pretenders. Its kind of already in the game with a standard event (event 5091 support for dissidents abroad) you can get but adding an extra one that's more direct could make sense.
